[@IntoTheBass]

This is the first "UNIVERSITY-LEVEL" music theory instructional video I've ever watched on KZbin!

[@TheBassKitty]

Welcome to the club

[@IntoTheBass]

@@TheBassKitty Still Standing the Test of TIME!! - Great Video from a Great Teacher.

[@wagohowardmusic]

I’m about 100 videos in and I’m taking my musical composition arrangement Siri and fretboard and scale knowledge to another level. Absolutely another level unreal. Gratitude I think is the word thanks for doing the hard work and explaining it the way that we understand it. Mahalo

[@megs3197]

It’s still so hard to find actual examples of modal mixtures and not just theory. Hats off to Rick for being one of the greatest teachers on YT for years!

[@cesarederossi3903]

Thank you for all the lessons, as someone probably already said this channel is pure gold.

[@serseriherif9530]

In ottoman classical (and other modal based systems) they have been doing this modal mixture for hundreds of years, for example they mix some makam uşşak (aeolian with a 1 komma flatted 2) and segah (kind of major flavour) in almost every song in rast (ionian with 1 komma flatted 3). The main difference is that they work with 4 or 5 note groupings ('half scales') which they combine with a common note, mostly the 4th or 5th degree of the first tetra/pentachord. It's cool to see the same concept in a different context :)

[@skyzenskyluke5880]

Miran Öztürk are you turkish ?

[@CoolGoolMusic]

Probably he is mirroring an aussie in istanbul :)

[@giotheproducer2476]

I guess they do it melodically, anyway? Or they mix all those scales in a jazz-like style?

[@RizalBudiLeksono]

@@giotheproducer2476 check Tolgalhan Cogulu for examples.

[@bryanpoulsen8969]

Mind blown. Going to have to work through this a few times before I truly understand it.

[@NahreSol]

!!!!!! SOO GOOD

[@MRWERK-hh8gc]

YEE

[@DARKBassRsR]

Yooooo hello nahre 🙂

[@MattGalter]

Wow, can't wait to learn these & start writing w them. This has re-inspired me to start writing again by opening up a whole new world of musical colors to "paint" with, THANKS! Had no idea how much I still didn't know!

[@petragaffney135]

I smiled and then didn't stop smiling at 5:40 when you started the downward modulation of F Lydian augmented, F Lydian, F Ionian and F major pentatonic. I love how you bring a new approach to music. Pétra 😌

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

Jos, while I agree in part to what you are saying I think that a lot of players, such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vie, probably do more composing, especially of solos, using a calculator instead of their ears. That explains why they are technically impressive but manage to be artistically mundane.

[@CreateArtRecords]

I like one universe at one time..but sounds somehow new.

[@almir...santos]

The best source of music theory. Actually, everything related to music. Thank you so much for every bit of your time doing that awesome work, Rick.

[@dmt340]

Rick, I said it before and il say it again! your the man, master of music! when cycling through the chords a 5.30 cracked me up and reminded of David Blaine street magic - with the faces and looking at the camera after each chord/trick! love all your videos I watch them over and over!

[@jont8161]

This is pure gold! Thanks for sharing that knowledge Rick I hugely appreciate it.

[@KrayFish4Ever]

I've been dying to hear/see you speak on this! It was a drastic eye-opening concept in college! Thanks so much for your great work!

[@gannon1074]

This video has been a massive leap for me, it's put what little I already know into perspective for me. At first I questioned what's the point in analysing modal changes this deep, "if all of it is pretty much in the same key regardless" as the ignorance of me would say. But now I understand why it's so helpful to do so, the way this video presented the tension and release of modes surrounding a chord connected pathways in my brain haha. I always knew following the pentatonic generally gives good results, but I just needed a video like this. There'll be more musical revelations in store for me I'm sure, thanks!

[@MattGalter]

Yeah, really is like opening a door to a whole new musical world

[@jaretthale2186]

Rick, you are great!! Your lessons are really insightful and well communicated, A big thank you from Canada!

[@zyrrre]

Man I wanted a lesson like this for years!! Thank you so MUCH

[@JamesWatsonComposer]

So I'd always just simply thought "oh altered dominants, that's a jazz sound" but never realized they were also part of a series of modes. I just realized John Williams does this a lot before a resolution. Thanks for this video Rick!

[@TheKeith1121]

That was awesome Mr. Beato , I needed that in my arsenal .. Much Thanks !

[@AbrahamNixons]

7:22 that's a real nice buildup!

[@RotaryMotion]

You are the best music teacher i never had! Thanks for the work Rick!

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

You amaze me with your knowledge Rick......

[@charlesreynolds2694]

Been thinking of these concepts a lot lately. Current student of Music Theory. Cleared up a lot of questions. Thanks!

[@Convisis]

Wonderful Rick. The most exciting aspect for me is how you put the sounds together in a practical and useable way, for soloing and writing. As writers we all have our own melodic and harmonic devices but I feel you are able to present practical ways of achieving more complex and rich sounds. I look forward to seeing where you take us 👍🏻

[@RickBeato]

Thanks so much Convisis! I have many more coming!! Best, Rick

[@SuperWestGhost]

I wish Rick was my dad. By far the best resource for musical education and understanding on KZbin. Many thanks!

[@lundsweden]

You want Rick to be your Dad?! What, do you think you're in heaven already?!

[@tonyedwards4067]

just pretend he is!

[@chrisevanz]

Congratulations on a beautifully presented lesson. Very easy to understand and with very practical and musical examples. I felt that I could go straight to the piano and compose.

[@MattGalter]

I actually did just that! Great stuff

[@davidsummerville351]

loved the modal mixtures! wonderful examples.

[@eddieburke3816]

You’re AWESOME, Rick Beato! Thank you, sir. 🙂

[@guillaume___crl]

Hi Mr. Beato, I'm discovering your channel which is amazing ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, music theory begin to make sense to me.

[@juandavidvelascobaena3531]

This is pretty beautiful and very clear, thanks Rick!

[@Thexmaacx]

You are amazing! Thank you for your videos, it are the most instructional videos I'd ever seen

[@ripwildy2022]

okay this was a legitimately mind-blowing concept!

[@rasyidsayyari8846]

thank you Rick Beato. It is very useful Lesson that we can use in composing music.

[@chrisrobson2203]

I love this lesson! I bought Rick Beato's book from his website and these video lessons are great supplements to it! The pieces are falling into place nicely. Thank you Rick!!

[@wannelyuba]

You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for your work!

[@Taichientaoyin]

Learning every day a little. I keep watching.

[@ChiliBass]

Fantastic lesson! Thank you Rick!

[@JerryCherryBand]

You are an inspiration. Been watching your vids for the last month. Great lessons. As far as this video, would've loved to hear you play all those model changes over the 2/5/1

[@achmedliebtachi]

true! and some kind of sheet music for those linear fast ones

[@juanmaidana8185]

Great! Finally someone who talks about Mixolydian#11 instead of Lydian Dominant

[@erhanertetik]

Amazing as always . Thank you🙏🏻

[@joelhoffman1764]

This is such a great channel. It’s what I always wanted the internet to be. Thanks Rick!

[@RickBeato]

+Joel Hoffman thank you Joel!

[@westgatefilms]

This is the closest definition of modal magic I have seen. Its a big topic. More on this!!!

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

Awesome video! Thanks Rick

[@frankorland8245]

u are amazing. Tnx a lot for sharing all this great information.

[@avedic]

Awesome! Just stumbled across this channel...and I see you've got a bunch of really great music theory videos. Excited to delve into it....think I'll have to subscribe. :)

[@jazzerson7087]

Great lesson, sorry, didn't see this one in older lessons, exactly what I was looking for.

[@FernandoCuadro]

This is THE VIDEO that get me to understand modes.

[@RemyLuciani]

Holy cow, all the colours I seek are hidden in modal mixtures on a dominant chord. Rick, thank you very very very much for this great lesson!

[@AmagrasMUSIC]

Thank you Rick, you always remind me to do my homework. Please make one about negative harmony!

[@BenMoerland]

This connected alot of dots!! Thank you!

[@XasNitram]

it's clear, fresh, open & terriffic - thnx maestro

[@southsilicondan1776]

Desperately needed hard work...Thanks...

[@pdkett1]

Thanks for posting.

[@pwhi2251]

thanks for these lessons rick

[@jamiepastman5594]

this is wonderful stuff Rick. The only thing I don't quite agree with is to always move from less tension to more tension in mode choices as you build lines. I like it the other way round sometimes, it's like slowly pulling back a harmonic curtain to slowly reveal the harmonic "home" (least tension) last. Can be very effective if you trust your audiences ears (which could be a mistake , lol).

[@WillKriski]

Cool. I love using different superimposed structures on the guitar to get different color tones that don't fit one scale. Eg triads, 1235, pentatonics, m7, etc. I don't think in terms of modes for the most part but they quickly, verbally communicate what intervals are in the scale.

[@JayBee0212]

I was with you up until the part where you said hi my names Rick Beato and we’re gonna talk about modal mixture

[@GaZonk100]

haha!

[@SMart7751]

Good lesson. I know and understand the terms you use, but without being able to stop and ask you questions, I can’t grasp most of the overall concept. If I received this as in person instruction, I most likely would have no problem fully digesting it.

[@lindareese4579]

Thank you!!!!!!! Well done..

[@AnthonyWoodruffe]

Those G Minor chords are beautiful.

[@stefan1024]

You are one cool guy! I'm learning a lot here.

[@janivelic2316]

space shuttle! Thank you Mr. Rick!

[@edwardvivenzio5843]

Thanks Rick!

[@Thibster]

Brilliant!!!

[@PedroMirandaGuitar]

Incredible Stuff!

[@___Mert___]

amazing man, thanks a lot!

[@woejinslow]

very interesting! great examples! i was hoping to hear you're interpretation of a ii V I though!

[@DaveSolazzo]

loved it! thanks!

[@djmsong]

I really enjoyed this.

[@wakingupfrom]

this is the greatest ever

[@baronvonbeandip]

I wish there was an app or program that could visualize all chordmodes in terms of brightness and darkness from a selected key and then you could choose another target and make a progression out of it.

[@billwilkie6211]

I can only imagine what would happen if Todd Rundgren got hold of these given what he did with Lydian. These lessons are gold, and i went to NEC like Rick.

[@evolutiom]

This is great stuff

[@cantaforte]

thank you !

[@edthesaxplayer8450]

enjoyed this thanks

[@longfade]

Wow, great! One of my favorite passages is the last few minutes of Messiaen's 'Dieu parmi nous', where the chords step down over a pedal, increasing in tension, until they resolve in a 6 chord. I wonder if some the modal concepts you're presenting here weren't in play there. It's extremely dramatic.

[@yohananitasusanti835]

thank you so much .

[@GaZonk100]

you REALLY ARE a Professor!

[@uroko2993]

Heard a lot of this kind of changes in Kapustin's music, and it is probably a good way to play "outside".

[@jammerco326111]

Love you !!!

[@SyafiZainuri]

i love this channel

[@BobMazzo]

Hi Rick, it would be helpful to break down some of your chord changes in certain places. Like F Ionian chord vs Lydian voicing, etc.

[@ndwknss]

I knew some theory once. Then I watched Rick. I am a newb.

[@senseimoon4853]

This is fantastic!!!! Can't wait to compose using your ideas. Can you tell me what a "dom dim" chord is. When you listed altered chords, did you mean ex. b5? Loving all of your videos. Thanks so much.

[@Marunius]

I love the intro theme xD

[@brianlee5455]

A thumbs up button doesn't cut it for your vids Rick! KZbin needs a Love button!..... OH YEAH AND NEW ALGORITHMS!! LOL

[@mdmsr2000]

This is the answer to my latest thing. I googled one chord songs. This can take it to the next level. Oh, my all time favorite one chord song is a silly one. Coconut by Nillson. C7

[@larspetersen7196]

Thx!

[@ferdinandnest329]

Thank you Rickman .... ;-)

[@joehernandez5600]

Rick, any chance you can post a transcription of the linear study over the C7 chord? I loved that line. Thanks.

[@chrisshollinrake6826]

Great stuff Rick. Would have been good to hear the whole 2-5-4 played using this info, or am I missing something?

[@garynicolson9341]

Would be helpful to see the piano from above, do you think you could set something like this up? Cheers for the quality content!

[@LCRLive687]

Oh wow, thanks for your videos! Makes me want to compose again! Can you please tell me if everything you are playing in these videos is available in your book notated exact as everything you are playing in these videos?

[@lundsweden]

Miles would be smiling if he is looking down on us!

[@Ex-fk4nr]

Would Be nice if u would explain music theory on daw`s piano roll this way everyone would undestand more ,,,,thank you...

[@andreasfriedli7419]

It is not new, but I enjoy what 30 years ago we where digging out. Good representation and sometimes also clearing.Thank you alot.These are good Thoughts...and Beauty.

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

Would love to see a video touching on the style and production of Jeff Lynn of ELO.

[@savagetofu1]

Rick Beato has fantastic hair!

[@lukehunnable]

Thats why I watch him

[@Koettnylle]

This is very interesting! Question for Rick and everyone: If i wanted to incorporate modal mixture with root note progressions, how would you advice me to compose the root note movement? If i understand this right, modal mixture would be feasible to apply to both diatonic chord progressions or modal chord progressions, no? Opinions?

[@kenmasters128]

Hi Rick, you mentioned a previous episode in the description but the link isn't working. Which episode should we watch first? Thanks for putting all this amazing material up for free.

[@t.k.8265]

So good, you were named 'musical beat' ;-))

[@signaltouch7413]

you are amazing
